I added the current limiting diodes and reran the simulation. The actual limit is a bit higher than I predicted at 130mA. Note that there's a point when the limiting kicks in where the op-amp is contributing a significant amount to the output current: see the Ix(U1:OUT) trace. It's a good idea to keep the current below this level, even if it isn't clipping, as there will be some distortion. |

Doubt it will have any major contribution to the amp output noise. --- End quote --- It would not matter for audio applications unless the amplifier had an unusually low power supply rejection. I just mentioned it as an example of the same idea and some applications do require lower noise than an LM317 can provide alone. |

Thanks a lot for the simulated schematic, i'll try LTSpice to see what I can get from it |
